This 3 percent approval number for Pelosi, however, doesn't in fact exist. From the poll:

3. Do you approve or disapprove of the job Nancy Pelosi is doing as speaker of the House?

Approve Disapprove (DK)

16-17 Mar 10 31% 57 13

Democrats 56% 28 16

Republicans 9% 83 8

Independents 25% 65 10

Then you get to question 9 of the poll and you start to see the -- how shall I say? -- asinine reasoning by which the 3 percent number became Pelosi's approval number. First, the poll question:

9. Which one of following people do you have the most respect for -- President Barack Obama, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, or Chief Justice of the Supreme Court John Roberts? (ROTATE)

President Speaker Chief Justice

Obama Pelosi Roberts (All) (None) (Don't know)

16-17 Mar 10 46% 3 37 2 9 3

Democrats 76% 4 12 3 4 2

Republicans 14% 2 67 1 12 4

Independents 48% 2 35 1 11 3

See, only 3 percent of people in this poll had the "most respect for" Pelosi, not approved of the job she is doing as speaker. Either I'm dumb or my powers of comprehension have been impaired by March Madness mania and now both respect and approval mean the same thing.

Bill O'Reilly, who is ... um, veryfond of attackingPelosi, also couldn't help himself tonight, saying on his show: "One poll said -- you know what Nancy Pelosi's approval rating is? Three percent." But, unlike Cupp, O'Reilly caught himself, quickly putting his hand up and adding, "It's not a straight approval rating question -- it's who do you trust? And they listed Obama, and somebody else, and then Pelosi at 3 percent."

Final thought: Guess who conducted the poll? Two points if you picked Fox News.

On December 7, President-elect Donald Trump named Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt as his pick to head the Environmental Protection Agency. Media should take note of Pruitt’s climate science denial, his deep ties to the energy industries he will be charged with regulating, and his long record of opposition to EPA efforts to reduce air and water pollution and combat climate change.

President-elect Donald Trump has picked -- or considered -- nearly a dozen people who have worked in right-wing media, including talk radio, right-wing news sites, Fox News, and conservative newspapers, to fill his administration. And Trump himself made weekly guest appearances on Fox for a number of years while his vice president used to host a conservative talk radio show.
